In my opinion, the result of the match between Germany and Latvia cannot be used as a benchmark to say if the German team is playing well at the moment, because Latvia is a team that does have a fairly far level compared to Germany which is currently ranked 13th in FIFA. The match against France on June 16 will be a real test for the German team whether or not it is worthy or not to be a candidate for this Euro 2020.

For sure it is not a Benchmark and thats not what a i meant , but it has shown that they playing better together as on the last game they have played.
The match against France will be not a test , it is already the keygame for both teams in this Group.
Who will win this game has for sure some advantages for the next game and games .

Germany vs France match was a decisive match for Germany because they were part of the group with Portugal and Hungary, for Germany victory would be very important against France and Portugal, so Germany would find it easier to face the last match against Hungary and that's why I said if the initial match against France is a real test for the German team (regardless of what the your opinion is about the match Grin

), because if in that match Germany loses of course it will lower their mentality in facing the next match.

Do you really think the German team can win against France? Look at the squad in France, lots of star players. On the other hand, the German squad is not very strong. Moreover, Germany's performance against any strong team is not pleasant. Germany lost 6-0 to Spain, and against Switzerland, they did draw by 3-3. I think Germany will play with the goal of drawing this match.

It's pretty safe to say that the winner of the France vs. Germany match will end up winning the group. Even though I am of course in favor of the German national team, I think that the French are unfortunately a bit stronger. Their performance over the last few years has been simply outstanding and they are the favorite to win the title.

Nevertheless, we can hope that after the victory against Latvia, the German national team will be motivated enough to make it far in the tournament. We can be excited about what will happen next Tuesday.

I hope that they after the win yesterday really motivated for the game against France , and maybe its a bonus that they play in Munich.
Looking excited forward to that game and it will be the intresting game in the first phase , its already a final match.
It will be hard to beat them but all is possible , specialy on games in the EM and WM.

some federations have to report short term absences again and namely the dutch national player Donny van de Beek will miss the tournament completely because of an injury.
there are also 2 new corona infected national players... sweden announces that Dejan Kulusevski and spain announces that Sergio Busquets is sick with covid-19 Tongue

I guess that will be not the last players that will be not playing in the first weeks , fingers crossed that no german player gets infected.

But I see Group F as a hell of a group because they have to meet Germany, France and Portugal as a great team. From here they also have to be able to fight to qualify and indeed that is not a benchmark, but I believe Germany can get through with the first phase.

Of the three, I think Germany is the most streamlined. It's the one that will have to work harder to get through the group stage.
Portugal and France have a better chance of passing. But Germany is Germany, it can always surprise.

Here is the official calendar for Euro 2020:

by UEFA

The championship starts with an Italia - Turkey, on June 11th.
What do you think will be the result of the first European game?

It is great that the matches will be held in 12 different cities. If this was in a single country, maybe it would be safer since we are in the process of pandemic. However, I still think that the cities taking part in this championship will be completely safe. I think Italy will beat Turkey in the first match.

Many qualifying matches with big score wins, I think a team has indeed found the right squad to look forward to in the June 12 round which will start and this is what we have to see who is great.

It was a really Goal festival yesterday from the German Team against Lettland with a 7 to 1 scored goals .
Also it was the 100th Game for Manuel Neuer as goalkeeper in the german National Team .
I just saw the review and the goals was scored very good and it looks like they have found together as a team .

It just saddens me the way he left the national team, the man thought about staying or leaving for days, and no one even tried to keep him on the team. You are fighting for such a player in all possible ways, because what Luka Modric is for the midfield, it is Mandzukic for the attack - and everyone who watched the match against Belgium saw how Modric plays even at the age of 35.

Because the skill of the player and his experience play a very important role in matches of this level. But this is his decision. Ibrahimovic also left the national team at one day and no one kept him, although he could still play for the national team not one year. And the Swedish team did not play worse because of this, a new star will come to replace Ibrahimovic, this is how it always happens.

Things like that usually happen and there are certain reasons that must be done, this is a place to prove talent and greatness in playing because we won't know or know that there are new good players after the previous good players don't exist.
and it's true that Sweden didn't play badly in yesterday's game and the coach knows better and the players are good and talented although it's not clear yet, and the game is still very long and we will see the next Swedish national team without Ibrahimovic and some influential senior players.

Definitely. Davor Suker remains Croatia's all-time leading scorer, but Mandzukic was undoubtedly the nation's second-best scorer after him. In terms of the quality of the players as a whole, I would even give him an edge over Suker, and Croatia's young strikers will have a tough time filling those shoes.

Getting back to EURO 2020, I think Croatia will play a lot better when the tournament starts. Let's not forget Russia. Croatia failed to demonstrate the right level of quality before the tournament, lost to Peru and Brazil, and gained only minimal advantages over Mexico and Senegal.

This is a Balkan mentality after all - nothing is serious until it becomes too serious. Wink

Wait, seriously? Mandžukić a better player than Šuker?
I know we all hate Šuker but it should not cloud our judgment. I even disliked him when he played but he was a class apart from Mandžukić.

He was pure quality, Mandžukić was a workhorse. And no, we really do not need him - he could not even score in Qatar anymore.

Mandzukic is more than a striker. In Juventus, he can play as a winger and a swing defender and he is very adaptive with tactics as well as requirements from coaches. Mandzukic has good team spirit and every team need him.
The contribution of Mandzukic is more than a striker and goals and Croatia will need many years to find another good player like him.

That's true, but I don't really know about the news or rumors circulating but indeed, Mandzukic and Modric are seniors in the team so their presence will be good for every game. I don't know why Mandzukic was not included in this year's EURO squad, if Mandzukic was still playing for the national team now it might be his last chance to play for the national team, considering that he is already at retirement age.

Especially this season, which was very exhausting for all players.
All teams, will give the minimum in friendly matches. It will only be for the players to keep pace. No major physical wear and care to avoid injuries.

I was noticing that booking.com has been able to sponsor Euro 2020, how is that even possible? They must have had massive losses due to the pandemic, where did they get the money from?
I can understand JustEat was able to make a killing for the very opposite reason.
Sign of the times.

Booking earns money in the local market too. Although travel between countries is almost at a standstill, internally people continue to make some trips.

Also, during the last year the money they had earmarked for marketing has not been spent, as everything has stopped.

But the most important thing is that these sponsorships were already planned and certainly paid for before Covid. Therefore, the sponsors remain the same as they were planned.
